Featured Case Law
The impact of the Road Accident Fund Amendment Act on the legal profession
On 25 November 2010, the Constitutional Court delivered judgment in the Law Society of South Africa and 10 others’ constitutional challenge to certain provisions of the Road Accident Fund Amendment Act of 2005 (“Amendment Act”).
To qualify for a reasonable claim under the Amendment Act, a claimant has to prove that he/she sustained at least a serious injury. The Amendment Act not only limits the number of road accident victims who will be able to claim from the RAF, but also limits the value of their claims, as a result of the limiting provisions relating to general damages and the caps imposed on loss of income or support.
